When and how to watch the 2022 MLB All-Star Game

Come watch Andrew Benintendi represent the Royals!

MLB: All Star-Media Day Gary A. Vasquez-USA TODAY Sports

The 92nd Major League Baseball All-Star Game takes place tonight from Dodger Stadium in Los Angeles. Rays pitcher Shane McClanahan will lead the best of the American League against Dodger pitcher Clayton Kershaw, who gets the start for the Midsummer Classic for the first time in his career, and in his home stadium.

The coverage begins at 7:00 p.m. CT on FOX with Joe Davis on play-by-play with analyst John Smoltz. Ken Rosenthal and Tom Verducci will provide on-field coverage, with pre-game coverage by host Kevin Burkhardt and analysts Alex Rodriguez, Frank Thomas, and David Ortiz.

Andrew Benintendi will be the lone Royals representative, and it will the first selection in the outfielder’s fine career. Benny is hitting .317/.386/.401, good third in the league in batting average, seventh in on-base percentage, and his wRC+ of 127 is good for 27th in the league.
